I used CopyAI to generate a blog post with this title as a prompt: “Why AI ‘art’ will always be shallow and fail to connect to the genuine human experience”

The following is not an original work of any human being, but rather a copy and pasted AI generated blog post; though I am sure the algorithm plagiarized at least loosely. I am not claiming this work as my own, merely using it to make a point, without profit.

Why AI “art” will always be shallow and fail to connect to the genuine human experience

Introduction

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a fascinating subject, but it’s also extremely complicated. I’ve been interested in AI for years and have written a few articles on the topic. What I’ve learned over time is that there are two sides to every argument: one side offers evidence that supports their point of view while another side argues against them using evidence from other sources. That said, there’s no doubt that AI will play an increasingly important role in our lives — and not just in the world of work where it can help us solve problems faster than humans can alone!

A computer can only simulate creativity, but it can never create.

The AI “artist” is a human creation, and it’s not going to change anytime soon. It can only simulate creativity; it cannot create it for you. In other words, a computer can do what every human has done since we were cavemen: look at something, think about how to express that feeling through art and then make an attempt at creating something out of thin air (or pixels).

The whole idea behind AI “art” is that people will be able to create art using machines instead of their own hands — but this isn’t necessarily true in today’s world where humans are still fully capable of expressing themselves through traditional methods such as drawing or painting.

In fact, many artists have already begun questioning why they should continue producing work if they know it won’t be shown publicly until someone else picks up the brush again after years or decades pass? Does this mean future generations won’t have access even though they did put their efforts into creating something meaningful?

Technology is great at solving problems.

The idea of technology as a solution to all problems is enticing, but it’s not always the case.

For example: how do you define “art”? What makes something art? Well, it’s subjective, right? And that makes it difficult for technology to solve. Because if your definition of art is different from other people’s definitions of “art,” then what works for one person might not work for another. And so when we talk about AI “art,” we’re talking about solving problems that are well-defined or ill-defined or subjective — but never both at once!

Creativity is a tool for expression.

Creativity is a tool for expression. Art can be used to express your feelings, ideas and experiences.

Art also allows you to communicate your opinions about the world around you — something that AI can’t do because it doesn’t have emotion or empathy (at least not yet).

Art has the power to move us on a personal and primal level because it is the genuine expression of a human experience.

Art has the power to move us on a personal and primal level because it is the genuine expression of a human experience. It’s an expression of who we are and what we care about, often expressed in ways that go beyond words or conscious thought.

Art communicates without words, without conscious thought, and can help us experience emotionally rich experiences that the artist has imbued into their work.

Counterfeit art will always lack depth and context.

The problem with AI art is that it will always lack depth and context. Art is a human experience, not a computer program; it’s not something that can be simulated or copied from somewhere else: art is its own thing, and we must respect this fact if we want to make meaningful connections with it.

Artistry isn’t just about making copies of other things — it’s about creating something new out of nothing at all. If you want your work to mean anything, then you have to go beyond mere imitation and create something new that expresses your ideas in ways no one has done before (or even thought possible).

Art should be authentic, not counterfeit.

Art is a tool for expression and connection. It shouldn’t be used as a simulation, but rather as a way to express genuine human experience. Counterfeit art will always lack depth and context because it isn’t authentic — it’s fake, which means that it doesn’t reflect reality at all.

Artists who use AI “art” can’t expect their works of art to connect with us on an emotional level because they’ve created something that doesn’t actually exist: an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm with no actual human being behind it.

Creativity cannot be simulated by technology.

Creativity cannot be simulated by technology. In fact, it’s the only thing that is truly original and uniquely human.

AI can create beautiful art, but they cannot understand what makes something beautiful or connect it to their own emotions. They don’t know how to feel anything beyond what they’ve been taught by scientists who want us all to believe that there is nothing more important than computer programs running large data centers filled with algorithms.

Artists are not machines; they are people who express themselves through their work — it’s an experience for them too! Art connects us with each other and makes us feel things we haven’t felt before in our lives; it helps us see things from different perspectives which has always been one of our greatest strengths as humans on earth: creativity!

Conclusion

At the end of the day, it’s not just about art. It’s about creativity and how we can use technology to enhance our lives. But what we’re finding is that creativity has been reduced to mere algorithms and data collection. We need to be careful about how these tools are being used, because what they will give us is a limited version of ourselves that lacks the deep connection with our own inner selves. I believe this is why AI “art” will always be shallow and fail to connect with genuine human experience — because it isn’t actually humanistic in nature at all!
